On our way back to Boston in 2003, to attend the conference, we drove north to Marshfield. I was curious about the cemetery in that town. Susanna White had remarried to Edward Winslow who also lost his first wife in that first winter in Plymouth.

I wrote about our visit in my journal Trip to New England May/June 2003:

Friday started out a beautiful sunny day on Cape Cod. I could not find a cloud in the sky. We had to go back to Boston. We checked out at 10 am as was required and
made our way back to Plymouth. After a few stops here and there for supplies and
things we headed north. We took the turn off to
Marshfield so that we could find the Winslow house. (See photos below) It was wonderful and much larger than I had
anticipated. I stood on my tiptoes to try and see inside the windows. You can go on tours of this
wonderful house built in 1699 but it was not open yet for the season. The house was built by Isaac Winslow a
grandson, I believe of Josiah Winslow a son of Susanna and Edward Winslow. She had remarried after the death of William
White. The Winslow house is close to land owned by Resolved White and Peregrine
White so it was good that I at least visited.
We also stopped at the Winslow Cemetery and saw Daniel Webster’s grave
site and Isaac Winslow's but the stones were so old and broken it was hard find graves. No one knows were
Susanna is buried. No one knows were
Resolved is buried either. I have read
that he probably died in Salem. These
people of course are my Mayflower connections.

Things to Ponder!

As of 2/3/2015 I have been rearranging my labels which are a mess, lots of duplications and lack of clarity. I am sorry if it causes problems but it was out of control. Please be patient it will take a while.

As a member of Find A Grave I have been adding photos and memorials and getting some transferred to me and trying to spend a couple hours each week adding to the website. Scroll to the bottom of this blog and you will find a link to my contributions on Find A Grave.

Here are my tips:

I find Find A Grave is really good for finding tombstones and memorials for those buried in the USA. Canada is making progress in adding to Find A Grave but you also have to go to other websites in your search. These websites are the Canadian Headstones.com, OCFA - Ontario Cemetery Finding Aid, the Canadian Gen Webs Cemetery project are few places to look. Each province may have a way to locate cemeteries. Hopefully I have identified these websites in my posts but be aware they do change their urls.
